We asked readers of the Recipe Box blog to identify the kitchen item pictured. Here are some of the guesses:

Soda bottle vacuum pump & stopper?

Wine aerator?

It is the Pop Chef cutting tool (As Seen On TV!), which slices everything from watermelon to bread into shapes to create what the box promises will be "mouth watering masterpieces." It sells for $10.99 at Bed Bath & Beyond. This week's randomly selected winner is Deedee.

Check out the Recipe Box (http://blog.timesunion.com/recipebox) on Friday for another item. Take a guess at its purpose, and you could win the item. You do not have to guess correctly to win.
